A secluded retreat  |
| During the 18th century Montpelier was a working sugar plantation and witness to the marriage of Lord Nelson to Fanny Nisbet in 1787. Today the 30 acre estate is a secluded retreat from the hectic pace of distant shores. Most of the sugar fields have given way to tropical vegetation, though a small portion of land is still farmed for sugar that is used in the kitchens of Montpelier.  Montpelier fell into disrepair in the 1930's. A visitor from that time left an account describing the end of one era and the beginning of another: “On the hill behind [the great stone mansion] rises the tower of the windmill, still intact, with its huge arms still motionless in the air... The sugar-boiling house is a thorough ruin... a great square stone tank sunk in the ground is full of water... one sometimes sees a flower garden with roses and other brilliant blossoms…”. Today, Montpelier Plantation has been carefully restored to its former glory. |
